RE: Not a Socialist, But a Marxist?
Lane,

Overall, I think your article is well-written and accurate. There is one point I would nitpick.

"Whenever these claims appear, they are usually greeted with glee, seldom with skepticism, and rarely with refutation."

I disagree with that characterization. Most serious students of Lincoln (as you point out in the second half of your piece) do not give any credence to this claim. If there is any "glee" is comes from people who want it to be true.

Other than that, very well done.

Best
